New Chandy!

My husband found this little chandelierrecently for me and I amvery happy he brought it home!

Over the years, I have found that I have a love of sparkly crystal chandeliers, but there is neverthe budget for them.So...when this one arrived,it was a welcome gift!:D

A friend of mine, Kathy, has more than

eleven chandeliers of

varying sizes

in her three-bedroom home.

(I think she has fourteen... I forget!)

It is amazing to go to her home and

see them all!

Soooooo beautiful!

This is our dining room chandelier.It is justa generic 1990's brass one, but it looks lovely

with added crystals and

glass bobeches.

Soon I will be cleaning and redecorating it for the holidays.(My same friend says I ought to hang up plastic all around it and spray paint it white!)

Sweet rose garlands and grapevines are draped across the dining room chandelier's lower arms for summer. The pearls went on at Christmas time a year ago and have stayed.

The new little beauty I am thinking about gilding and over-painting with white.Rubbing off some of the paintso some of the gold and blackwould show through would be super cute!I'd like to put it hanging above the window seat inour master bedroom.Part of me also wants to add it to thecraft roombecause I have another one in there andthe two would be fun together!!;)Couldn't you just picturetwo small chandieshanging above a craft table near to each other??Different styles but they are each about the same size and areblingy and cute!!Like TWINS!!;) :)(tried and tried to get the photos to post right here but they wouldn't...sorry. :( )Will share again after I get this babyrefinished and hanging.Happy Wednesday!
